Set in Regency times and written during the 1840s, `The Tenant of Wildfell Hall` is a novel of startling modernity in its bold treatment of the issue of women`s equality and is unforgettable in its intensity, burning sincerity and psychological truth.

It`s December 1997, and a man-eating tiger is on the prowl outside a remote village in Russia`s Far East. The tiger isn`t just killing people, it`s annihilating them, and a team of men and their dogs must hunt it on foot through the forest in the brutal cold.
